Women Safety in Pub or Club!

The past century has seen a serious and rapid change in women’s behavior and brought to fore a whole new set of norms and values for the present generation. Women are becoming more and more independent and are masters of their own destiny in most parts of the world. These days, one can frequently observe women venturing out alone to have a drink or two at a local pub or disc and beat the stress of their day. However, the increasing incidents related to violence against women and rapes forces us to consider whether we are doing enough to ensure our safety when spending time at pubs and clubs.

The following tips have been assembles and should be kept in mind by all women who wish to remain safe and secure when out dancing the night away at a club:

1. You should be completely aware of all the people who are present in your surroundings. If you feel uneasy talking to someone or being around someone that you have just met, you should trust your intuition and walk away before the situation has a chance of deteriorating.
2. If you have come to a pub to down a few drinks, you should ensure that you only drink to your capacity and do not have one too many drinks and end up becoming drunk. This can cause complete loss of awareness and make you reckless. You can end up getting involved in dangerous situations that you otherwise would have stayed away from if you had been sober.
3. It is common to meet new guys who may ask you out on a date or show interest in you. You should never bow down to peer pressure and only give a positive answer to someone if you are completely sure of the person approaching you. If you misjudge a new person, you can easily end up in threatening situations that may become difficult to get out of later on.
4. You should ensure that your cell phone’s battery is completely charged when you venture out to a pub alone so that you are never completely cut off from your friends and well wishers. The numbers of a few trusted people should be kept on speed dial so that you can inform them immediately about your whereabouts if you sense danger.
5. It is vital for every woman to carry a small bottle of pepper spray in their bags or pockets. This weapon can come quite in handy when you are under the wear of getting molested and are at a lonely place at the backside of the pub or club. You should also avoid venturing out alone in shady parts of the club with anyone that you have just met.
6. If you find someone stalking you are disturbing you in any way, it is better to be safe than sorry and approach the bouncers and security persons in order to complain so that such elements can be rooted out.

If the above mentioned tips are followed, you can remain safe and sound at all times no matter where you go. Before heading out to a club that you have never been to, you should enquire about the kind of people that are usually present there so that you do not end up being at places where you do not want to be.
